Abstract

This paper proposes a method of fault detection in analog circuits which involves various steps, including selection of benchmark circuits, dataset preparation, signal decomposition, model training, and performance analysis. The main aim of this work is to provide solid performance even in noisy environments. Monte Carlo analysis is used to generate a synthetic dataset with 200 runs per fault class by introducing component tolerances and realistic faults. A multi-stage pipeline is proposed; it begins with resampling the signals and normalizing them, and then noise is added at different levels: 5 dB, 10 dB and 20 dB. Feature fusion is performed by combining time-, frequency-, and statistical-domain features. Statistical-domain features are extracted by applying Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) to split them into four IMF levels, followed by the application of Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) for time–frequency-domain analysis. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting are used as base-level classification models. A stacking ensemble model is developed which uses Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Extra Trees as base learners and Logistic Regression as the meta-learner.

Computational modeling of catastrophic fault classification in Digital to Analog Converters using machine learning

A large part of the cost of producing Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) is related to testing, due to factors such as long time taken for analog fault diagnosis, increased testing time and expensive equipment being required for testing. Therefore, using Machine Learning (ML) based fault classification offers a promising alternative method for testing DACs compared to traditional testing, as it reduces complexity while also improving fault diagnostic accuracy. This study compares the performance of Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) to classify catastrophic faults in both 16-bit Charge Scaling and Binary Weighted DACs that have experienced process variation such as variable threshold voltage, oxide thickness and temperature. Additionally, this paper proposes a framework to eliminate the need for additional test hardware, as the simulated fault signatures are used to develop and validate classifiers for both Charge Scaling and Binary Weighted DACs. The experimental results indicate that the BPNN classified faults with an average classification accuracy of 100% for Charge Scaling DACs and 95.1% for Binary Weighted DACs. Meanwhile, the SVM classified faults with an average classification accuracy of 97.8% for Charge Scaling DACs and 94.09% for Binary Weighted DACs. The proposed PNN achieves significantly better performance with 100% classification accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score for Charge Scaling DAC; 95.5%, 95.1%, 95.5% and 95.3% for Binary Weighted DAC than both SVM and BPNN classifiers. Novelty of this work is the complete benchmarking of the performance of the three classification algorithms for methodically classifying faults in both 16-bit Charge Scaling and Binary Weighted DACs across a range of process variations and thus providing a highly reliable and inexpensive solution for automated DAC fault detection without the need for additional testing apparatus. Not applicable.
